Somebody posted this on Reddit which I thought was insightful. Newspapers are just not selling anymore. Why would I buy a printed newspaper when I have the most up to date news in my hand already?
From Reddit:
Every national newspaper is seeing double digit decreases in circulation - at this rate the print editions will be gone in 5 - 7 years. The independent was worse off than everyone else, so this shouldn't be a surprise.
Newspaper Average circulation as of June 2015, Year-on-year % change
Daily Mirror 855,987 -10.71
Daily Record 191,042 -10.68
Daily Star 416,379 -10.83
The Sun 1,818,935 -10.56
Daily Express 432,565 -9.83
Daily Mail 1,626,846 -2.79
The Daily Telegraph 489,739 -4.83
Financial Times 214,256 -2.85
The Guardian 171,218 -7.61
i 274,556 -4.12
The Independent 57,930 -8.78
